I do think Obama supports Hezzbolah. The attack Isreal. He thinks that’s good.

“I do think Obama supports Hezzbolah. The attack Isreal. He thinks that’s good.”

I think Obama’s Middle East policy does not know an Islamist from a secular Muslim or one Islamist from another. I don’t think the results of his policy wind up supporting any one group of Islamists over another, EXCEPT in the case of the conflict in Syria where his policies are TRYING to take the side of the Sunni Islamists and their putsch there.

I don’t think he is intent on supporting any group BECAUSE that support will not favor Israel; I think I does not care if it is or is not detrimental to Israel. It’s his version of benign neglect.

Opposition to Iran?

That - in terms of Iran’s nuke programs - has more to do with the U.S. favoring the radical fundamentalist Wahabi-Sunnis in Saudi Arabia over the radical fundamentalist Shia theocrats in Iran.

Iran and Israel could somehow mend their fences overnight and Iran would still pursue its nuke program and the Saudis would expect us to still object. They know, in the long run, the major bones of contention in the Middle East will be between them.
